Y’all Can DIY Bioethanol Fireplace Fuel Containers Recalled Due to Serious Flash Fire Risk

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a recall of approximately 14,000 Y’all Can DIY brand Liquid Bioethanol Fireplace Fuel Containers. This recall, initiated due to significant safety concerns, involves products sold on Amazon between April and July of 2025. The primary hazard identified is a violation of mandatory safety standards for portable fuel containers, specifically the absence of required flame mitigation devices. This deficiency creates a substantial risk of flash fires, which could lead to serious injury or even death.

The recalled Y’all Can DIY fuel containers are described as clear bottles with black tops, featuring a white and black label with orange and white lettering. The label prominently displays the brand and product name, along with claims such as “No Soot,” “No Ash,” and “Clean Burning,” and includes hazard warnings on the side. The manufacturer of these containers is STARKİM KİMYA SAN.TİC. A.Ş, located in Turkey, and they were retailed by Astemrey LLC of Casper, Wyoming.

Consumers who have purchased these recalled fuel containers are strongly advised to stop using them immediately and to store them out of reach of children. To receive a free replacement of fuel, consumers must contact Astemrey via email at contact@astemrey.com. The process requires consumers to clearly mark the product container with “DO NOT USE” and include their Amazon order number. A photograph of the entire product, showing these markings clearly, must be emailed to Astemrey for verification. Upon verification, consumers will be instructed to properly dispose of the original bottle and its contents. It is important to note that only products manufactured and sold after January 12, 2025, are included in this recall.

The CPSC also provides specific guidance for the safe disposal of flammable liquids, emphasizing that consumers should adhere to local household hazardous waste (HHW) program instructions. Requirements for disposal can vary by state, county, or city. Consumers are advised to keep the product in its original container, clearly label it “Do Not Use,” and transport it to a designated HHW drop-off location. Pouring the fuel into drains or placing it in regular household trash is strictly prohibited. No incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
